    Gotta go with Streets on this one, set the motor so the plane of the intake is parallel with the ground. I usually go with 3 degrees pinion down angle. Got to have some angle on your U-Joints or they will live a very short life. One other thing to consider, make sure your motor plate mounts are behind the motor plates so that in the future you can remove the motor and leave the tranny installed. Seems simple, sorry if it seems like and insult to your intelligence, just wanted to mention it!!!!
